About: I started dog sitting my freshmen year of high school and quickly grew my business as people heard about my service. I am dedicated to making both you and your pet feel comfortable while separated. I am currently a full-time college student, so my hours are strict. I am free most weekends and will be available for drop-ins during the weekdays and can spend the night if needed. I will stick to the routine your pet knows best and ensure they are given plenty of love and attention while you are away. I strive to go above and beyond so that you come home to a happy pet!
About: I have had all kinds of dogs & a cat since I was a kid; Schnauzers, Beagles, Pittie mixes, and a Chihuahua. My girlfriend & I currently have a 10 year old pitty named Cannoli, a son to be 2 year old pitty- Great Pyrenees named Carl and 2 12 year old chihuahuas named Tyson and Felix. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets while they are away. I am currently available during the week Monday-Friday 10am-10pm (and some weekends), so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for walks or drop ins. Would love to regularly walk or drop in with your furry friends weekly or a few times a week! Active pet sitter near parks & walking trails. I enjoy taking pups on long walks or runs outdoors, or even just providing some company in the house while your are away.
About: I have had a dog in my life since I was in the third grade. I now have 4 dogs of my own and foster for a local rescue, which means I have taken care of dogs of all ages I currently work Monday - Friday until 3:30 PM and am available after that. Weekends are usually free for anytime care as my job does not require me to work weekends. I do not have a fenced in yard but we do have a portion of the property that is far from the road and boxed in by trees. My dogs are friendly and love to run around and play.
“Shannon took wonderful care of our cat while we were out of town and was sending us daily updates and pictures of our cat. We definitely recommend Shannon for pet sitting:)”
“Shawn is a very reliable and wonderful sitter. He spent quality time with our very needy, geriatric cat. We feel so much better that he stops in. We definitely would recommend him,”
About: Hello! My name is Elena, and I specialize in caring for dogs of all backgrounds—including rescues, seniors, and pets with unique needs. As the owner of three rescue dogs myself, I understand that every pup has their own personality, history, and comfort level. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with: Recognizing stress, fear, and anxiety cues Supporting dogs with behavioral quirks or anxieties Providing consistent routines, medication if needed, and patient care When I care for your pet, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect timely communication, photo updates, and a sitter who truly respects the bond you share with your furry family member. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own—because I know how much trust it takes to leave them with someone new. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine, allowing me to provide consistent and reliable care for your furry friend. As a nursing student, I have honed my skills in time management, responsibility, and compassionate care, which seamlessly translate into my pet care services. Ensuring the safety, trust, and well-being of pets is paramount. In my home, I maintain a pet-proofed environment with secure locks and designated safe zones, ensuring cleanliness and comfort with regular cleaning and a consistent schedule of feeding, walks, and enrichment activities. Health monitoring is a priority, with regular checks for signs of illness and immediate veterinary attention if needed.
About: (I go by Dakota, so some testimonies might call me that) I started off pet sitting for neighbors when I was about 14. I would feed, let out, and walk the dogs, and feed and clean cat litter boxes as needed. I moved up to dog sitting for family friends, old coworkers, and coworkers’ clients about three years ago, where I would do the same, and even bathe dogs if needed. I have experience pet sitting rodents and reptiles as well! I am currently not working a job, so I have all the time to give your babies the love and attention they need and deserve! I have experience with body language in dogs, so I can always tell when your baby is happy, upset, or uncomfortable. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, no problem! I can take your fur baby on a secure leash outside!
About: I have watched the pets of friends, family, and peers of mine and have had an amazing time doing it! I also had a family dog and I have a cat of my own! I have watched / walked pets of many ages, weights and temperaments and I have been happy with all of them! I am respectful towards boundaries of pets, and have experience grooming my own pets who are reactive at the grooming salon and are better at home. I also have lots of walking dog experience as well. I am working part-time on the weekends, I am able to stay overnight during weekends. I cannot bring any other pet home because of my own cat but I am able to travel and stay at other houses on the weekends. I am able to do one day pet sitting and short and long dog walks as well. I am able to also take dogs or cats on car rides if needed as well! I have cared for my family dog along side my family for her whole 13 year life, she was a yellow lab. I now have a maine coon who is 19 lbs and has double hip dysplasia and a bad knee who is 5 years old. I have groomed both of those pets, walked both of those pets on leashes and taken daily care and made sure any problems they have had, had been helped and treated with care. I safely take directions from owners whose pets I have watched and followed them fully and have reached out an asked questions and made them aware of everything that had happened when they were gone. I take pet care very seriously and I always bring up anything I notice is wrong and always make sure the pets safety and happiness is priority!
“Jack did a great job with my 2 dogs. I was concerned because my Great Dane was a bit on edge from all the fireworks on the 4th, but Jack put my mind at ease with pics of them playing in the yard. Will definately book again.”
“We’ve been using Cayla for our Golden Retrievers since October 2025. She is wonderful! She really cares for the dogs and can tell that she really loves seeing them each time. She goes above and beyond for the dogs and us too. Cayla is also extremely dependable, which is huge for us. We feel VERY comfortable knowing that she is taking care of our babies on the days we work. We highly recommend Cayla!!”
About: Have administered specialized medicine to senior animals for ongoing diseases such as kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. Was very diligent nursing my senior kitty before he passed. I work and go to school so my schedule varies but I always have some nights and mornings free each week that I would love to use on animals. I understand and respect animals boundaries and try my best not to encroach them. I've also mastered the "foot as barrier" approach when opening doors.
About: I’ve cared for a variety of pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to independent cats. I am comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they get the proper attention and care they need- as long as instructions can be provided to maintain routines and medical needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing gentle care, companionship, and a safe environment. Wether it’s keeping up with a puppy, a shy cat, or providing extra comfort for an aging pet, I would be honored to be trusted with your furry family members. I currently am a full time Software Engineering student at Loyola University! Currently, most of my coursework is online other than Tuesdays and Thursdays. This limits my availability on those days for additional pet care. My flexible online schedule allows me to dedicate plenty of time to care for pets throughout the week, ensuring they receive attention and care they deserve. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, playtimes, and check-ins, making pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my routine. I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment for all animals in my care. My home has a large yard with fencing where I can comfortably walk one’s pet outdoors while remaining safe. I have two cats and one dog in the home, so I do carefully manage introductions and limit interactions if needed to ensure all pets are comfortable. For dogs, I can crate or pen if needed, providing them with personal space, or allow them to roam safely on a leash outside while ensuring they are well cared for inside. For cats, I prioritize an stress-free environment, providing personal space and ensuring quiet areas to retreat to. I understand feline body languages and can understand shy, playful, or independent cats to ensure their comfort.
“Kylie came over for 4 days to check in on my kitty while we were out of town. He warmed up to her pretty quick, which is a good sign. She kept in touch of when she was stopping over and took care of everything I needed, including sending me some photos. 😻 I would definitely request her again.”
“Declan is an extremely friendly and reliable sitter! He's great with our new kittens and has been very gracious working with us on short notice with our relatively erratic schedule. Would recommend to anyone in need of a sitter!”
About: I can’t remember a time in my life I haven’t been around animals. I’m comfortable with any animal big or small. I’ve owned hamsters, mice, guinea pigs, rats, dogs, cats, and many other pets. I volunteered at a cat shelter for multiple hours a week for over 5 years. I have fostered 13 kittens, some as young as a few days old. I now live with a dog, four cats, and too many small pets to count. I have pet-sat for friends and family, I ride at a barn, and I do little bits of training with our dog and cats. I am comfortable clipping cat nails and grooming. It makes no difference to me if the pet is young or old, big or small; I love them each. Save for Tuesday mornings and afternoons, I am available weekdays and weekends. My Friday and Saturday nights are not always free, but there can be exceptions. I’m a nature-loving girl, so I can take your pet on walks around your neighborhood or a park you know and love. I’m willing to play fetch or help keep your pet up-to-date on practicing its tricks and training. If your pet is the cuddling type, I can do so as well, and if it likes adventure, I have traveled all the way to Montana with my cat in the car.
“Hailie has been great taking care of my cat Mr. Grey at home while im away for work. She is very honest and easy to communicate with, very responsive and respectful. Definitely recommend hailie to other pet parents!!!”
About: I have plenty of experience with dogs and cats of various ages and sizes. I am willing to do whatever is needed to provide the best care for the animals, regardless of it being messy or the weather being bad. I am currently in school, so I have a specific schedule, but I still have some time available. I am able to be flexible and make things work. I am very involved in the care of my own cats and will do whatever is asked of me by clients to take the best care of their cats. I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sturtevant stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Sturtevant choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Sturtevant with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
